Automatic Defrost; Wiring; Terminal Description - Honeywell VNT5150H1000 Guide D'installation

Automated Defrost
The ERV and HRV units are equipped with an automatic defrost feature to eliminate any ice build up on
the core.
• Automatic defrost is initiated once every hour when the fresh air supply temperature drops to 23°F
(-5°C) or colder.
• The defrost cycle operates by turning off the supply fan while continuing to operate the exhaust fan.
• The exhaust fan speed is adjusted proportionally based on the outdoor temperature, initially operating
at low speed.
• As the outdoor temperature continues to drop, the exhaust fan speed will increase, and will operate at
maximum speed when the outdoor temperature is -4°F (-20°C) or less.
• Defrost cycle runs for 4 minutes with the supply fan off, followed by 40 minutes of continuous normal
operation.
• Defrost cycles will continue to repeat as long as the temperature is 23°F (-5°C) or less.
